What I hope to do here is to explore the limit of the template as a form, to investigate
what sort of constraints it offers and how those constraints differ from, say, meter, rhyme
and traditional forms such as the sonnet or sestina or villanelle.

To create my templates, I've co-opted an online program normally used for corporate marketing
and research purposes: Survey Monkey.
I'm interested in how the digital interface affects the writer's experience, how the concept of "play" factors in
the experience, how the digital interface either expands the limits of the forms or speeds their ruptures,
and any ways that the writer can subvert the form. And when is the form exhausted? And is filling in boxes
in responses to prompts an act of writing poetry?

Currently, I have three templates available. Once a poem is completed, you have the option of allowing me to post your poem
on this website, either attributed to you or anonymously. You also have the option of remaining completely anonymous.
So please click on a template and write. Or play. Or break the form. Have fun. Create one poem or many. And if you'd like
to email me comments about your experience or your thoughts regarding the experiment, you can contact me at
